After 12 wonderful years at Ayr Physiotherapy Clinic, Rachel has made the exciting decision to begin the next chapter of her professional journey by establishing In Flow Physiotherapy Clinic, with a special focus on pelvic physiotherapy.

While we are naturally sad to see her leave, we understand that there comes a time to follow your dreams and build something of your own. We are genuinely excited for Rachel as she begins this new venture.

Rachel first walked through our doors as a 21-year-old new graduate. Over the years, we have watched her grow into an exceptionally capable, compassionate and caring physiotherapist and, more importantly, into the wonderful person she is today.

Between our two families, we have welcomed six children, celebrated many milestones, shared plenty of laughter and supported each other through the challenges of building a practice while raising young families.

Rachel has played an integral role in shaping Ayr Physiotherapy Clinic and has made an enormous contribution to our patients, team and community. We are deeply grateful for her commitment, friendship and dedication.

Through In Flow Physiotherapy Clinic, Rachel will focus on women’s and men’s pelvic health, an area she is passionate about. We have no doubt she will continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of her patients.

We wish Rachel and her family every happiness and success. Rachel, you will always have a home with us.

Keeping the Burdekin Moving

While Rachel begins her exciting new chapter, Ayr Physiotherapy Clinic will continue providing experienced physiotherapy care for the wider Burdekin community.

Rod Hidlebaugh will remain available to treat sports injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, and his area of Advanced training, treating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance syndromes.

Rod is currently developing a men’s exercise group focused on the “Farmer’s Back/Neck Program.” The program will aim to improve mobility, strength and physical resilience while providing practical strategies to help participants manage the demands of farm work and remain active.

For many local farmers, long days spent bending, lifting, driving machinery and working in awkward positions can take a toll. That nagging back or neck pain may be common, but it does not have to be accepted as simply part of the job.

Ayr Physiotherapy Clinic remains here to help keep you moving, working and doing the things that matter to you. Call today: 4783 4699.
